Rather than bore anyone with another whiny journal entry, I'll just write up someone else's poem:

"Pasternak"
byChard Deniord

"What century have we got out here, my dears?" -Boris Pasternak

This was the life, to live in Russia
at the end of Russia and write about its history
as if it were poetry, while one beloved or the other
lay asleep nearby, dreaming of him writing nearby
in a high ceilinged room with the vista
of snow-covered mountains, forests and fields.
More ice than glass in the window frames.
A red coal in the samovar.
Outside, in the distance, the endless rain
of shells and sough of trains behind the hills.
The old world falling to its knees like an elphant.

This was the life, to live at Peredelkino
like a prophet in his own land and dream.
"What I have lost is much too great for a single man,"
he writes in the snow with the tip of his cane.
The shelling has stopped and the world has changed.
The wind picks up and blows the words away.
He writes for the eyes who follow him,
"Nothing is lost in the other world."
This dark December day inspires him to write
the plainest things in the snow, then walk away.

I'm sorry it just seemed like you were one of those people that get off on thinking they are smarter and more rational than everyone else. You know those people (there are plenty of then) that respond with preaching or insults thinly veiled in an apology that never really sounds sincere. I was obviously wrong. Please except my apologies.



See what I mean. Ive had enough of those that Im super defensive.

I like Coldplay because they remind me of Catherine Wheel, who I've liked for a long time. Radiohead didn't enter into my liking of Coldplay.

I've got nothing against Radiohead, or anything, I just find their music wholly unremarkable. For me it just lacks whatever other bands I like are able to do. (That's about the closest I can get to describing it, I think.)
